Notes :
(1) Service trains. The last leg to Kings Lynn (2H02) is thought unlikely to have been worked by 56062 to leave the loco in position at Cambridge for Sundays workings.
(2) Steam loco 69621 gave rides in the station yard at Cambridge (down side), hauling one way and propelling the other.
(3) Nick Bartlett travelled on a return Cambridge to Kings Lynn trip around the middle of the day/early afternoon, hauled by 56062 and the stock for those trips was 310057 (was this 2H66?).
